ADDED: So I'm mentally sorting through the Hillary men and trying to decide which ones are slick, geeky weasels or and which ones are rancid, asexual cream puffs.

ADDED: Rush Limbaugh read the whole passage and said: "It is an interesting question, and it is interesting to note that all of these guys in Hillary's orb, you know, would be in Revenge of the Nerds 10 — and that's even being charitable towards them, in terms of being men."

Paglia unfortunately is the norm in the pundit class. The type of people that run over small animals with lawnmowers and pour gasoline on the family cat. She has no idea what compelled her to write this, exactly who she was talking about, or any earthly idea if any of it were true.

"The men you always see under her are to a person passive-aggressive, sadistic, mean, little, petty beta-male pieces of work who would not naturally succeed in a common male-type hierarchy. By that I mean an environment that values straightforward achievement rather than the darker political arts."

That description perfectly describes Harold Ickes. The left made an art out of demonizing Karl Rove. Compared to Harold Ickes and what he did in the shadows during the Clinton Administration and what he is doing undercover of darkness for Hillary now, Karl Rove is a saint and a martyr.

I just finished a beginning Italian course and the correct pronunciation of her name is Ca-mee-lay Pal-yee-a, no "g" sound at all! The 3-letter combination "gli" is special in Italian. Figlia is feel-yee-a and means daughter; figlio (feel-yee-oh) is the word for son. And the correct pronunciation of Giovani is Joe-va-nee. The only purpose of the i after g is to make the "g" sound like a "j". Italian is a close relative of Latin and is a very pleasant sounding language. Time for pizza (peet-za)!

Clearly McCain was talking about a peace time standing presence ... Someone should ask the Democrats if they think we're still at war with the confederacy, the Germans, and the Japanese given all the standing American armies in the South, Germany, and Japan.

So the southern USA is occupied, eh? Because it should actually be the CSA?

MadisonMan said... I read that same piece. When Camille gets on a scathing roll, she is absolutely hilariously spot on.

Yes.

Now stand by for the simpering squeals from the creampuffs saying how mean and homophobic she is..

Paglia can't be talking about the Old Horndog or staunch man's man guys like Ed Rendell.("Fuck you, I said I'd back Hillary in Pennsylvania and I will. I'm no Richardson that caves like wet Mexican tacos.")

Alpha, do you realize that your italicized quote makes the point that saying Japan or Germany is occupied is just as stupid as saying the South is occupied? Presumably this is in reference to the McCain 100-year thing, when he was talking about Japan-style basing in Iraq long-term, which libs argued was "occupation." Only communists think South Korea is occupied by the US.

lance, Bill doesn't have any women.It was all a VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY started by the SNIPERS who were shooting at Rodham as she played high school SOCCER with Sir Edmund Hilary down at the MARINE CORPS recruiting station, where she negotiated the IRISH PEACE TREATY, with that miminum wage Pizza Hut employee who was turned away from the HOSPITAL because she didn't have $100 or insurance, and whose fetus (not a baby) died, before she was airlifted to Columbus.

"If civilisation had been left to women, we'd all still be living in grass huts down by the river."

knockin you out with those American thighs. I suppose ac/dc is talking about the south american amazon variety? Girls, who know how to play drums can do math because playing drums involves learning fractions and stuff and that kind of math lets you beat a hell of a drum.

Hillary (okay she got the thighs), Michelle (do you have the rhythm), Condi (can you do the math)

The South may not be occupied by troops, but aren't there multiple southern states still under Federal injunction/control of local policies? such as limits on changing voting rules (the North & West don't have to clear changes to voting the way that some southern states do).

johnannarbor, the comparison of the Iraq occupation to the US forces South Korea, Japan, and other countries to bases in the domestic US is just dumb.

Here, let me help you. Germany and Japan = other countries. Former confederate states = part of the US.

And McCain's efforts to run away from his own words about staying in Iraq for 100, 1,000 or 10,000 years is idiotic. We are nowhere close to having a situation like we have in South Korea or Japan in Iraq.

AND he is feeding al Qaeda propaganda as they say we want to stay there indefinitely. He provides the proof for their propaganda.

Left unsaid is how many years of bloodshed and Treasury depletion we will have to endure before we reach a Japan-style presence in Iraq. Both Bush and McCain promise it will be a long time.

AlphaLib, it appears you are stuck on stupid.You know what McCain said, I know what McCain said.I'm still getting the impression that you are a Rodham boy, cause you sure have that dishonesty part down pat.

This thread is great. It captures how conservatives think in fantasyworld caricatures.

In the conservative fantasyworld, con-men are very manly and tough, as shown by their ready willingness to start wars that other people fight (and finance). (And they don't sign up to fight in their epic wars, oddly enough).

To the con-mind liberals are weak as shown by their reluctance to invade and occupy other lands.

Reality is irrelevant to the con-mind.

In computer terms, the con-mind only has 16 shades of grey. Any suggestion there might be other colors is greeted with jeers.

Isn't this post by Althouse lame? I mean, it was bad enough for Paglia to print this superficial idiotic tripe to begin with, but to repeat it...

You almost don't want to watch such mediocrity in action.

What, the truth hurts? Bill and Hillary have run the most rancid, dirty, and low life campaigns in recent history. They make even Nixon look clean. Even JFK is clean compared to these two pikers and their evil followers.

As I said earlier, people thought Karl Rove was evil. They should be ashamed of themselves. The Clintons and their geeky asexual weasels are the lowest of the low. I forgot about that other evil Clinton minion, Sid Blumenthal.

No, he's just a sleazy opportunist. He knows full well a Clinton administration will give him ZERO access. And I'm sure that's already been made abundantly clear. An Obama administration will bring them all kinds of opportunities though. That's why Olbermann is shilling for Obama, because Obama told him he has their back if he can get him elected. Simple!

That's 95% why the press corps doesn't like the Clintons. They've told them many times before to fuck off and find their own story, and the old D.C. punditry rules are off.

When I was in Providence at a gay bar (a gay bar, I want to meet you at a gay bar, a gay bar) the queen handing out the Hilary buttons said half her staff is gay.

He was probably BS'ing me thinking that I would vote for her and was from RI. It was during RI's primary when I was there.

As I stated in a previous post, this guy is paid by the Clinton staff to travel around the country and go to gay bars and hand out Hilary buttons. I would totally do that but would probably ditch the buttons and just go find some flyover hog.

What, the truth hurts? Bill and Hillary have run the most rancid, dirty, and low life campaigns in recent history. They make even Nixon look clean. Even JFK is clean compared to these two pikers and their evil followers.

Spoken like a true Kossack! Nice work. Conservatives and DU, and Kos all agree on something. That's cute.

I fuck guys up the ass though. My straight male friends fuck women up the ass too. I don't know if those womens' ass are more pleading than the gay ones but for one reason or another they get it up the ass too.

I cannot conceive of the day when I would want my body, mind and spirit to be "one".

One what?I hate meditation, chakras, all new agey things.I do not want to live longer if meditation is required to do so. That would merely mean I am living longer and having to suffer through meditation, in which case I would very much want to die.

On a very rare occassion I will eat an ass too. But that doesn't happen very often.

The ass has to be a beautiful bubble but, no hair and pass the smell test.

The smell test is where I stick my finger up it dig around and then eventually (not drawing any attention to the act) bring it to my nose. If there is no scent of shit or any klinkers or dingleberries I will begin my meal.

Mikey, I am not a pedephile. I don't like boys. I want men, who work out, and look like men-not boys.

I have to be the one seeked out, desired, wanted, pursued and hunted. I could never pursue anyone and I would think for an older man to want a "young boy" he would have to purse them. I can't have that because it has to be all about me.

How long have you been around here? You should know that if you have been here for any amount of time.

Yoga does help me Pogo-I feel rejuvenated after and it gives me a rocking body which entail gives me hot tail so it is a winwin.

If I conduct the smell test and bring my finger to my nose and it reveals something nasty the trick will immediately be shown the door and I will run screaming to the shower.

One time when doing the smell test I actually pulled out a little piece of brocolli-all whole and everything-like it went down the mouth right into the stomach and onto my finger-a piece of brocolli-in its original state.

Mickey, I know what McCain said. He wants to keep US troops in Iraq for 100, 1,000 or 10,000 years. It's a dumb statement and efforts to explain it make McCain look more and more clueless and unprepared for the helm.

The notorious Republican mouthpiece CBS News cleared up that particular myth a while ago. You're welcome to keep repeating it, though, since it really drives home the point that you're not to be trusted. :)

it is essential in Italian to distinctly pronounce each consonant, even if in succession. If you pronounce penne (type of pasta) as in English, you will be understood as having said "pene" which is the object of titus's desire. It will also draw much laughter. Ciao!

Trumpit,Titus may be, ah, distasteful(?) at times, but he does not have a mean streak, never intentionally insults people, and celebrates and shares his lifestyle. He is not cruel, demeaning, or demanding. He does not whine, piss and moan, or demand anything from anyone. Aside from his somewhat graphic misadventures, he is a gentle soul.

BTW, if you insult him again, me and trooper and a few others may have to pay you a visit. LOL

Even I know that authentic feminism has primarily to do with sharing. That can be extremely challenging for narcissists like Bill and Hillary Clinton. So they learn highly nuanced methods of exploiting others that can appear to be non-zero sum ways of relating: saying he feels someone's pain instead of actually feeling it... "looking out for ya" when, in fact, she is looking out only for herself.

Many geeky weaselly males, suffering from excess stores of oxidized off-smelling body fat and very possibly Skoptic Syndrome, are drawn to father-hating power hungry castrative females, mistakenly thinking by doing so they are serving an ideal of authentic feminism: equal opportunity and sharing power.

In fact they are simply trying to assuage their shame for having been born with penises like their archetypal Bad Daddy. It's the hate that they share with Hillary and that they confuse with authentic feminism.

I've got twenty bucks that says Camille Paglia couldn't identify any of Hillary Clinton's senior male staff if their pictures were put in front of her, except for Mark Penn (admittedly, something of a smarmy chap) and maybe Terry McAuliffe. Once again, she's just writing her standard nonsense without the benefit of actual factual knowledge. By the way, if we are talking about people who haven't done anything worth talking about since 1993, I see that Blind Melon is back on tour again. Maybe Camille can get a gig as their opening act, as a spoken word performance.

Incidentally, I've seen Terry McAuliffe in action in a room full of money people. I can tell you that he's a lot more comfortable in an alpha male environment (to use the terminology that Paglia's questioner used in her piece) like a boardroom or country club lounge than a second-rate art teacher like Camille Paglia ever would be.

Revenant, one liners from liberal jokesters like you, do not substitute for thoughtful commentary.E.G. "Sober up".Revenant, the fact that your Mommy was a lush, isn't my problem.If you'd care to refute what I say, have at it son.Until then, I hope your Mom has completed all 12 STEPS. Or at least 11. Godspeed Rev.Revenant, I wish you a COMPLETE RECOVERY!

What really amuses me is that, as far as I can tell, Mickey is calling me a "stupid and dishonest liberal" for pointing out that the Democratic attacks on John McCain are dishonest.

Maybe he wasn't bright enough to understand my original post -- or figure out that the line about "notorious Republic mouthpiece CBS News" was sarcasm. Either way, he served the useful purpose of making my day a little more surreal. :)

Whether we are talking about Abbie Hoffman, De Niro, Lanny Davis, Sidney Blumenthal, cream puffs or weasels, the common thread that groups them all together is that they are self-hating men. They hate themselves and Hillary hates them too. Yes, that includes her husband.

This is absurd. General Wes Clark does not fit that description. Neither does Lanny Davis, who despite his slightly nerdy demeanor was in Deke house with George Bush at Yale, which was known as the jock house.
